Mommy Garner

Sometimes, Micah ignores me when I call for him or ask him to do something. So, I will say, "Micah!" If he doesn't answer, I will say it again, "Micah!" If he still doesn't answer, I will say (with my voice raised a little and a bit stern), "Micah Garner!" Well, the other day, Micah was downstairs and he kept calling, "Mommy! Mommy!" I didn't answer him because I was busy changing Abby's diaper. Well, he must have been getting fed up with me because the next time he yelled for me, he didn't say, "Mommy!" He yelled, "Mommy Garner!"

That is one of the cutest things I've ever heard! It was fun seeing pic's of Heath's family. It's been forever since we've seen them! The Garner's are terrible about getting together. We should have told you about Kaden's blessing. It would have been fun to see you. We really need to get together soon. Your kids are darling!!!!

Nertz is a really fun card game, I'll have to teach you sometime. Beau and I used to play it a lot with our friends. Next Monday afternoon I serve at Pizza Fac from 11-1:30. I would love to see you! I'll keep you updated on my schedule if that doesn't work out. I feel like I haven't seen you in so long! Let's go to lunch sometime soon :)

The Garner's

Here we are in one of the few family pics we have. Heath and I have been married for 9 years. Heath is the Director of Accounting at a Skilled Nursing Faciltiy and runs his own Accounting/Bookkeeping buisness. He enjoys golfing and playing basketball. I enjoy cooking, shopping, and staying home with my two beautiful children.

Micah Heath

This is Micah. He is 5-years-old and is a sweetheart. He just started Kindergarten and loves it!. He loves to ride his scooter and his bike, play Wii, swim, and he loves Mighty Beanz. He hates to eat most foods, but loves chocolate milk and Hershey's candy bars.

Abigail Valerie aka "Abby"

This is our little Abby. She is almost 3-years-old and is very fiesty. She is always on the move and lets you know what she wants and when she wants it. She loves to play with Micah, her babies, jump on the trampoline, and ride her scotter. She is fun loving, sweet, and adds just the right amount of spunk to our family.

Just a Few Minutes Old

I'm a Big Brother

Micah loves being a big brother. He is very gentle and affectionate with Abby. He calls her "Baby Babby."

Proud Papa, Big Brother, and Little Sister

See How Tiny She Is

Here is a full body shot of Abby. She is just so tiny.

Okay Sleeper

Abby is an okay sleeper. She usually sleeps for about two hours at a time. However, last nite, she did go almost three hours. Even though she doesn't sleep as long as I would like, she sure looks cute doing it.

Grandma & Abby

Thanks so much to my mom and dad for taking Micah for the first 4 days after Abby was born. Also, thanks to them for staying with us for five more days to help out at home. It was like having our own nanny, as mom cooked and cleaned for us. Thanks so much! We really appreciate you!

Little Angel

Here is Abby in her bouncer seat. I was really excited that this bow would stay on her head. Her head is so tiny that most of her cute little bows are way too big.

Happy Birthday Uncle Cory!

Like I've said before, Micah loves playgrounds. Here he is playing on one of those metal bouncy animals you see frequently at McDonald's Play Land. What you can't tell from this picture is that we were actually at a park in SLC celebrating Cory's birthday. While everyone else was eating Carne Asada Tacos, Spanish rice, fruit salad, and Tres Leches cake, Micah was running around trying out every piece of play equipment. It was a fun day and it was nice to spend Cory's birthday wtih the family.

Funny Story...

A few nights back, I was getting the bath ready for Micah. He was really hot and sweaty because he had gone on a walk with daddy. On the walk, they ran into our neighbors, who also have a two-year-old little boy. So, while daddy talked to the neighbor, Micah and Jacob ran around the yard and jumped on the trampoline. Anyway, I guess I wasn't getting the bath ready fast enough because when I went to get Micah to get him undressed, I found him already in the tub. He was completely dressed, except for one shoe, and he had his favorite Nemo bath toy in the tub with him. I called Heath into the bathoom to see what had happened and Micah just looked at him like, "You should have been faster."

Micah & His Grandpa

Micah loves his grandparents. In this picture, my dad was laying on the couch, watching tv, when Micah just climbed right up and joined him. It was so cute I had to get it on film.

Micah & Some Random Little Boy

When we were in Annabella for the 4th of July, Micah made friends with this little boy. We don't know who he is or anything about him, other than the fact that he and Micah played really well together.

Micah & the Cat

Micah loves animals. When we visit my parents in Annabella, he loves to play with their cat. Here he is laying on the front porch talking to the cat. None of us were quite sure what he was saying, but he seemed to have a lot to say.

So Cute...

This picture is just too cute not to share.

Micah & Daddy Swinging

Micah loves his daddy, especially when they're playing together.

One of Micah's Favorite Things...

One of Micah's favorite things to do is play on a slide. One nite, we took him to a local park to feed the ducks. He was interested in the ducks, but quickly lost interest when he realized there was also a playground nearby. He literally went down this slide 100 times.

Micah and His Gampy

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago when Heath's parents were out here visiting. When it was time to leave, Micah held onto Gampy and wouldn't let him go. Later in the day, when Micah woke up from his nap, the first thing he asked for was Gampy. When Heath reminded him that his grandparents had gone home, Micah sadly said, "Popi gone bye bye." I should probably explain some of the teminology used in this post. We call Grandma and Grandpa Garner, "Gammy" and "Gampy." That is how grandparents are referred to in Jamaica. Heath started it when Micah was born and it just caught on. Micah can't quite say the words yet, so his versions are "Mammy" and "Popi".

A Homemade Water Slide

While in Rexburg, we filled the wading pool full of water and then put the Little Tykes slide right in it. Micah caught on quickly and had a blast sliding down it . As you can tell from this picture, he had a great time! In fact, he had so much fun that we had to physically remove him from the pool and put him straight in the bath tub.

Cave Falls

Last weekend, we spent several days in Rexburg, visiting Heath's family. After church on Sunday, we took a drive to Cave Falls. The falls were beautiful and Micah was fascinated. I snapped this picture of my two favorite boys. As you can tell, I'm one lucky girl. :)

New Clothes

We tried to get a pic of Micah in his new church outfit, but we couldn't get him to put the Elmo chair down.

Check out the Birthday Boy!

Birthday Boy

Micah loves this Elmo chair. It was a gift from Grandma & Grandpa Dunn.
